Penn’s Way 2006: Compassion in Action
October 3 through November 18
Dear Colleagues:
The Penn Community is truly extraordinary and we can’t thank you enough for making last year’s campaign our most successful yet. We raised more than $500,000 dollars! That is more than a half a million dollars raised to lift the lives of so many within our community. Through your generosity and spirit of giving, along with the important work of both the Center for Responsible Funding (CRF) and the United Way of Southeastern Pennsylvania (UWSEPA), we’ll be able to continue to send a resounding message of hope and support to our community organizations and the vulnerable populations these agencies serve.
It is our belief that all children, families and adults in our community should be safe, and be given an opportunity to reach their full human potential. The numerous programs and agencies that our two partner organizations serve are able to make available a continuum of services that support individuals and families, from infants to seniors. The agencies represented in the Penn’s Way campaign are also prepared to help during emergencies; everyday emergencies and more pressing national emergencies such as the need created in the wake of Hurricane Katrina! The support that these agencies provide would simply not be possible without the annual contributions from thoughtful, caring individuals like you.
As in previous years, the Penn’s Way 2006 campaign involves both UWSEPA and CRF and their respective, affiliated charities. With a new standard of potential being reached last year, we have every confidence that we will again be able to harness the caring power of the Penn Community to raise $500,000. It is well within our abilities. Your generosity will make it a lot easier for many of our neighbors, co-workers and friends to deal with emergencies, raise healthy children and live better lives. With the Penn Community’s Compassion In Action we will generate the power to create overwhelming change that will reverberate throughout our community.
As if that wasn’t motivation enough, we also have a weekly raffle with many attractive prizes. Participants during the first week will be eligible for all weekly prizes! All you need to do to qualify for the prize is submit your completed pledge form. The continued success of our Online Pledge Form makes giving even more convenient. We urge you to utilize this safe and efficient tool for doing your part. The form employs the same online security measures that support and protect services like U@Penn and PennIntouch. Each school and center will also have designated coordinators to assist both you and us in making the campaign a success.
Please review the materials to learn more about the campaign; and then go to www.upenn.edu/pennsway/ to complete the pledge form and view the raffle prizes for each week. You can also watch for updates on the campaign in the Almanac and the Penn’s Way Campaign web site, as we strive to reach our goal of $500,000.
We ask you, our faculty and staff, to help make The University of Pennsylvania stand out as the leader in helping people build healthier lives, stronger communities and brighter futures by using Penn’s Way as the vehicle to make a real difference. Thank you again for your generosity and remember no pledge is too small!
